ls /home or open up the /home directory in a file manager. You should see other directories, especially /home/ftp. If you don't see any, then home's not mounted, hopefully. The other option is that it's been deleted -- hope not, and I don't think so.

Open a terminal (xterm, konsole, . . .) and enter: vasmChoose FILESYSTEM, then MOUNT, then ADD. Select the partition that has /home, and type in /home for the mount point.

I believe all VL's currently in use have VASM. You may have VasmCC. It will do the same job, but I don't know how as I haven't added it to my light version.

HTH, and that your home hasn't gone to the bitbucket. Even if it has, post back. There're folks here that might be able to help you retrieve it even then.

The old user's files should be available in /home/(old_user). Open the file manager and see if you can read/copy the files to your new home.

Suggestion: Open a terminal and use command "mc /home" to launch Midnight Commander. It will show all files. Navigate with up/down/right/left arrows. If it won't let you enter the old user home dir, try doing this as root. Don't copy the files as root, just see if the files are okay. If this is the case, post back for instructions on how to change file permissions.
